The Posts Too Hot For KCCI!

"Log in Failed. Please check your login credentials and try again."

That's the message I received after posting three comments on the KCCI website concerning their story ""Students Pulled From School After Pencil Bully Incident."
After receiving nearly 100 comments on their latest story, apparently there were three that crossed the line. And they were all from me! It's true....I have been banned from KCCI!
I guess they're kind of touchy over there. All I did was point out that KCCI had not yet bothered to contact police or review the police report concerning the incident. (If they have, they haven't included that information in any of their stories.) Either way, it's been over two weeks now, don't you think it's about time? It's journalism 101 guys...

Here are the offending posts:

tmyers - the problem is KCCI has never bothered to speak with the police or look at the police report. Of if they have, they haven't reported on what is a really a very different picture.
Channel 3 in Omaha finally got around to talking to police on Monday. Here is a link to their story:

Post 2 (the comment section limits you to 500 characters so I posted in three parts)

From that story:
" Some parents call it "sexual assault". It's an act Atlantic Police Chief Steve Green says isn't true. "There's been allegations back and forth about actual entering into a body cavity. We don't have evidence of that at all," says Chief Green.
... only one case involves the sharp end of the pencil and says it punctured clothing. "

An editorial I wrote after reviewing the police reports and talking to officers:

I'm not saying the boy shouldn't be punished, I'm saying the media in Omaha and Des Moines have failed in presenting a complete picture of what happened.
